Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
The cardiac cells are deprived of oxygen, leading to ischemia, a reduction in blood supply to tis-sues. The cells are deprived of oxygen; they are not malnourished. Free radicals are electrically uncharged atoms or groups of atoms that have an unpaired electron. Chemical toxicity is not a factor in the chest pain.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
A reduction in ATP levels causes the plasma membrane's sodium-potassium (Na+-K+) pump and sodium-calcium exchange to fail. Sodium and water can then enter the cell freely. Karyorrhexis means fragmentation of the nucleus into smaller particles or nuclear dust. Ribosome detach-ment reduces protein synthesis. Dehydration leads to loss of sodium and water.
